New fear unlocked: Woman finds hissing snake in her toilet

Published Aug 13, 2023 2:41 pm

Imagine finding a hissing snake in your toilet just when you’re about to pee… 

That’s what happened to a woman from Tucson, Arizona, who found the 3-foot-long creature in her comfort room after being out of the house for four days.

I’d been gone for four days and was looking forward to using my own restroom in peace. I lifted up the lid and he or she was curled up,” Michelle Lespron said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Thank God the lid was closed.”

“Everybody has the same reaction: ‘Oh my god, that’s my worst nightmare,’” Lespron said.

Phoenix-based company Rattlesnake Solutions shared a video of an employee helping her take out the snake from the toilet bowl. They also gave a closer look at it in another post.

The firm said such an incident could happen when snakes “get into plumbing through vaults in septic systems, flushed in from other homes, and a variety of other situations.” 

According to AP, the rattlesnake—which was found to be non-venomous—has been released “in a natural habitat elsewhere.”
